Phoenix Trail Races
The Phoenix Trail Races take place on Saturday, October 17, 2026 at Fanshawe Conservation Area in London, Ontario. The event’s stated mission is to contribute to the trail running community, local businesses, and the well being of London and area by creating opportunities to reach new goals, make new connections and support one another while practicing good stewardship of local trails.
The course follows the reservoir trail. Participants may run, hike, or walk a single loop for 25k or complete two loops for 50k.
- 25k one loop around the reservoir
- 50k two loops of the reservoir course
The route includes a mix of wide and single track sections with surfaces such as pine chips, dirt and mud, grass, pavement, and some rugged technical sections with exposed roots. Elevation changes along the course are small.
Event services listed by the organizer include park admission, timing chip, aid stations, safety and medical support, a finisher medal, and event photos. Shirts are offered; recent descriptions mention a black lightweight hoodie and a unisex burgundy 1/2 zip sweatshirt. The event is supported by BackRoads Brews + Shoes and identifies Animalert as its charity partner. Additional sponsors and community partners are noted.
